The COVID 19 has been going on since April 2020 in Indonesia. It has resulted in the Indonesian government, especially the Ministry of Education and Culture, taking preventive steps to minimize contracting the virus. One of them is using online learning for students to go to school. However, there are challenges for teachers and students while learning in an online class, such as students who are often absent, students will quickly feel bored, students tend to be passive in the learning process, students do not master the learning material, and much more. It also happens in an English lesson, especially a dialogue activity. This research aims to prove whether using a board game can be effective media to reduce students’ language anxiety level or not during English learning in an online classroom. The kind of board game is the combination between snake and ladder and candy land, or it has been modified based on learning purpose. The research design used in this research is a quasi-trial non-equivalent control group design. The samples of this research are 60 ninth grades of junior high school students which are divided into the trial and control group. Data analyses used in this research are using SPSS mean score, data deviation, while hypothesis testing used in this research is the Mann-Whitney test. The result showed that a board game can reduce students’ anxiety levels. The data showed that the mean score of students after implementing board game reduces by 2.90 points, while the standard deviation increases by 2.901 points. From the Mann-Whitney test, it is known that Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.003 or < 0.05 which shows that H0 is rejected, and H1 is accepted. From the data analysis, it can be shown that the board game is effective media to reduce students’ language anxiety in dialogue activity during learning in an online class.

This study investigates and describes English literature students’ pragmatic knowledge in uttering English refusal statements in different situations (request, invitation, suggestion, offering). The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe students’ refusal strategy and politeness strategy while uttering English refusal. The participants in this study consisted of twenty-five undergraduate students, 7 males and 18 females, enrolled in the second and sixth semesters of the English literature department of Diponegoro University. The only instrument used by researchers in this study was a questionnaire based on Beebe et al.’s (1990) work. The result showed that the students use direct and indirect refusal strategies to refuse something. Most students prefer a direct refusal strategy to the interlocutors who are their peers (friends) or subordinates. However, some students (higher semester) prefer indirect strategies with their peers in some situations. It means that the students respect their interlocutor even though they are in a higher position. Moreover, in the politeness strategy, they use two types of strategies which are deference and solidarity politeness strategy. However, the students (higher semester) prefer to use the deference politeness strategy.

The widespread use of social media has had a significant impact on digital power dynamics and accountability. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has frequently faced criticism for its social responsibility in addressing the detrimental effects of its platforms. Arguments between Senator Josh Hawley and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a US congressional hearing exemplified this tension. This study employs a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach based on Norman Fairclough's model, which has three main dimensions: text analysis, discursive practice analysis, and social practice analysis. This analysis demonstrates how Senator Josh Hawley and Mark Zuckerberg's debate at a US congressional hearing highlighted the tension between technological innovation and Meta-corporate social responsibility. Also, it emphasizes how Zuckerberg's apology lacked concrete steps in response to this issue, as he did not mention compensation for victims or major changes to the platform's algorithm. Hawley utilized hostile speech (aggressive or antagonistic, frequently with the intention of eliciting a negative response) to pressure Zuckerberg to admit Meta's failure to protect users. Ina contrary, Zuckerberg preferred defensive language (respond defensively, frequently in a manner that prevents open dialogue or hinders understanding) to project a positive picture of the corporation.

This study aims to analyze the process of developing differentiated instructional modules and the difficulties faced by pre-service teachers in the English Education Program at Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH). This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a sample of 34 seventh-semester pre-service teachers who have developed differentiated instructional modules. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document checklists. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. Subsequently, data analysis was conducted through several stages, namely data organization, transcription of interview results, repeated reading of data, coding, identification and grouping of themes, and data interpretation. The research findings indicate that pre-service teachers have attempted to incorporate elements of differentiated instruction into their module development, including adapting content, processes, and learning products to meet students’ needs. However, this implementation has not yet been fully optimized due to the limited variety in some of the differentiation components developed within the modules. In addition, various difficulties were encountered in the module development process. These difficulties stemmed from internal factors, such as a basic understanding of the concept of differentiated instruction that still needs to be developed and a lack of pedagogical experience, as well as external factors such as limited module references. Therefore, further training and mentoring are needed so that pre-service teachers can develop differentiated instruction modules more optimally and in accordance with students' needs.

This study investigates the effect of using a Roblox-Based Spelling Bee Game on the writing achievement of ninth-grade students at SMPN 1 Tanjungpinang. The study is motivated by students’ difficulties in spelling English words accurately, which affects vocabulary use and clarity in narrative writing. This research employed a quantitative pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants were 43 ninth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through narrative writing tests administered before and after two treatment sessions using the Roblox-Based Spelling Bee Game. Students’ writing was assessed with an analytical rubric adapted from the IELTS Writing Band Descriptors, covering task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ writing achievement after treatment. This study implies that spelling-based digital games can support writing instruction.
